Previously, the party sought out Stella again and photographed her in her green dress. They only have to take one more photograph of her. Now, the party will recruit another monster and take on Rank X in the Monster Arena.

After resuming, the party works on recruiting the Killer Director, Nohi. Nohi can appear in one of two locations: the plateau south of the Dragon Graveyard or the island in the lake between Ascantha and Pickham.

First, the party Zooms to the Dragon Graveyard (time 1:13). They take off with the Godbird's Soulstone (time 1:29).

They land on the plateau south of the Dragon Graveyard (time 1:52). When the Killer Director appears here, it will be on the highest level of the plateau. However, the party does not find it here on this occasion.

So, they Zoom to the Riverside Chapel (time 2:31). They take off with the Godbird's Soulstone (time 2:46).

They land on the island in the lake between Ascantha and Pickham (time 3:10).

They find the Killer Director right away (time 3:19).

They defeat it with little trouble (time 3:56). It drops a Gold Monster Coin. The party recruits the Killer Director, a.k.a. Nohi. They switch Nohi into Hargon's Heroes in Talos's place.

Then, they Zoom to the Monster Arena (time 4:47).

Down in the colosseum, they spend 5,000 gold to sign up for Rank X (time 5:21). My monster team consists of Nohi, Skeledoid, and Octurion. Rank X is deadly and highly luck-based. It may take several tries.

The announcer introduces Rank X Round 1 (time 5:45). Hey, Bangerz and Mash are the opposing team owners!

Round 1 begins against the Bash Brigade (time 6:42). The enemies look fairly easy, but they hit like trucks.

Next, the announcer introduces Round 2 (time 8:43). The opposing team owners are Cash and Carrie, the Bickering Brats from Baccarat.

Round 2 begins against Double or Nothing (time 9:52). The Gold Golem's frequent critical hits are problematic, and the Bone Baron can act twice per round. Hopefully, Octurion is smart enough to cast Fullheal and Zing when needed.

Then, the announcer introduces Round 3 (time 12:51). The opposing team owners are Morrie's Merry Maidens.

Round 3 begins against the Battle Bunnies (time 14:45). These monsters are quite deadly. I suspect the trees can heal or resurrect their allies. Octurion's foolishness has me concerned for a while, but ultimately, Nohi pulls through.

Hargon's Heroes win Rank X (time 16:57).

A victory scene takes place (time 17:16). Then, a scene takes place at the registration counter (time 17:39). The registrar rewards the party with a Butler's Best, a costume change and overall excellent armour for Angelo. Morrie reminds Davilas that the rivalry is far from over, but at least he resurrects Davilas's dead monsters.

We regain control of the party (time 18:55).

The party Zooms to Empycchu (time 20:20). They rest and save at the chief's house.

Next time, they will hunt down Stella in hopes of photographing her in her last outfit.

Thanks for watching!
